Workshop on June 13-15, 2016.

Request for Proposals

The National Socio-Environmental Synthesis Center (SESYNC) invites
applications for the third Socio-
Environmental Synthesis Graduate Workshop to be held June 13-15, 2016, in
Annapolis, Maryland. Goals of the

workshop are to:

• Energize and engage graduate students in innovative socio-environmental
synthesis research

• Support graduate students through skill-building, networking, and
research training opportunities

• Introduce and prepare graduate students for the upcoming graduate
research opportunity at SESYNC

We seek currently enrolled first or second year PhD students from the
social, natural, and computational sciences

with interests in bridging disciplines and synthesis research. As part of
the highly interactive workshop,

attendees will hear from noted scholars and practitioners, participate in
discussions on socio-environmental

synthesis, decision making, and actionable outcomes, and attend sessions on
collaboration and team science.

To help prepare participants for the upcoming research opportunity at
SESYNC, specifically the Graduate

Pursuits, the workshop will also provide graduate students with the
opportunity to draft scientific proposals

and immediately gain expert feedback. Many who attended the first two
workshops were successful in

securing funding for graduate synthesis research at SESYNC. Participants
are thus ecouraged to use the

workshop to develop relationships with peers from around the world and
across disciplines, and to ultimately

form interdisciplinary teams to jointly apply in the fall for SESYNC’s next
round of Graduate Pursuits.

Costs & Travel

There is no cost to attend, but space is limited. Travel to our facilities,
accommodations, and food expenses for

workshop attendees will be provided by SESYNC in accordance with our travel
policies.

To Apply

The deadline for workshop applications is May 8, 2016, at 11:59pm Eastern
Standard Time (EST). Application

materials must be submitted as one PDF document, including: C.V.; statement
of research interest and socio-
environmental synthesis goals; and doctoral advisor’s letter of
recommendation. Participants will be selected

based on background, interests, and potential for socio-environmental
synthesis. Participants must also

exhibit academic success in terms of GPA and other educational and research
activities as well as commit to

2.5 days in plus travel to Annapolis, Maryland.

Visit http://sesync.us/ for more details and information regarding the
workshop and the Graduate Pursuits.
